2. We are going to visit a mosque in Clonskeagh on Wednesday, November 29th. We hope to bring the kids somewhere else afterwards (e.g. a park, museum, etc.). 

3. Finally we are hoping to bring the kids to see the film 'Wonder' before we finish up for the Christmas holidays. (The children read this novel in 5th Class.) We are yet to confirm the exact date for this trip. The total cost for the 3 Trips is 12euro. The 12euro will go towards the buses for these trips. The school is covering all additional costs as we are conscious that the Christmas Holidays are approaching and that money can be tight at this time of the year.
